176: Deciding Enough Is Enough — Drained to Unstoppable
Burnout, Relationship Struggles, and Unhealthy Attachments
Men typically seek support when facing burnout or significant relationship struggles, often accompanied by unhealthy habits like excessive drinking or fitness neglect.

The "Batman Utility Belt" metaphor is used to describe the collection of negative attachments men use to survive difficult periods.
